No matter how "tame" a wolf or other wild animal appears, they are unpredictable. Anyone remember Travis the Chimpanzee? He was supposedly raised from 3 days old by a couple. Yet, he mauled a person, severely and grievously. The person lost her sight, ears, nose, and hands.

There's one fact that this topic seems to overlook. Dogs, and even more likely wolves as well do not like hugs. I would love to touch a wolf if it was used to humans and it wouldn't be fearful or aggressive just like I would a dog, but I wouldn't hug it. That would be uncomfortable to the wolf and it very likely wouldn't end well for myself.

I really really really want to say yes. But in all reality it's probably a no... perhaps if the poor thing was sedated for some reason (medical purposes or relocation maybe) and I had the opportunity I would. But then again I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and would probably be paranoid it wake up the moment I touched it.
